Reds Draw Chelsea, Anderlecht and Betis
Group G - Liverpool / Chelsea / Anderlecht / Real Betis
Liverpool will play Chelsea, Anderlecht and Real Betis in the group phase of this season's Champions League. The draw took place at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco this afternoon and it placed the Reds in Group G.
Anderlecht last visited Merseyside for a European Cup tie in 1964 - an occasion remembered for being the first time Liverpool wore their now famous all-Red strip. Goals from Ian St John, Roger Hunt and Ron Yeats secured a 3-0 win back, while a solitary Hunt strike in the return completed a 4-0 aggregate success. Liverpool have never before met last season's Spanish Cup winners Real Betis in continental competition.

I don't believe this. We are in the same group with Chelsea this early during the Champions League. Hah, maybe Chelsea will have less games to play this season; with its exit outta Champions League during the group stages.
